To all yw71 om,- fi may concer/1..'

lle it. known that, l, Rossem. llurr, a

citizen of the `United States, and reaident olt Detroit., rayne county`Statie ot hlichi aan, have invented certain new and usctuliniproreintents in ,\`l itt"ii'-\i"oliicles. ot' which the l'ollowiue'is a, speeilioatiou.

This appliesdion is a division ot" Vmy application. ticrial No.Llltla'ih), tiled 'lune 27. lfltlel.

Ylhis invention relates to niotor vehicles and particularly to thesupporting means for the cooling; tan and the associated parte ol" suchiucans. llt has special reference to tho arrangement ot' the adjustablefan bracket and 'the supportingl means` -for the hijih tei'ision wires.ot' thc mot-or.

(loo oft the objects ot' my invention is to oonstrnct a lan bracket thatis ot' simple i design and is readily adjustable.

Another object; o1" my invention is to construct. a siuiiportingln'aeket for the fan bracket which will also act aS a. supportingn meansfor the high tension wires ol the motor.

tlther objects and teatures of niy invention will be apparent 'lroiinthe following tfleseription.

ln the acemnpanying drawings, Figure lv is: a 'trout elevation ot amotor embodyingl my invention; Fig. Q is a. View partly in vertioalsection ort' the fau and its adjustable hracket; Fie'. is a crosssection on the line 3MB of 'Fig'. l; Fig'. il is a plan View ot aportion of the cover oil.' the water jacket of the cylinder showing' myinnnoved bracket. support; llig. 5 is a detail side View oi? what issho-wn in Fig. 4; and Fig. G is a cross section of the bracket shown inFig. 5.

.'[n the drawings, l represents one of the cylinders of a hydrocarbonmotor which is provided with lthe inlet and exhaust chambers 2, Thecrank oase 4 has preferably at its front end the laterally extendinghol- `low arms 5, the ends of which are adapted to rest upon the sidebars of the motor yehicle frame, as will be understood. These hollowarms form a gear case 6 in which are mounted a train of gears fordriving the cam shafts, Water pump and magneto for' properly operatingthe motor. The

crank shaft 7 extends through the crank case into the gear case 6 andthere terminates, carrymg upon its end the clutch 4 This spindle t8teeth P3 with whi h the clutch teeth ot the starting1 shall l()cooperate. The starting shaft is: provided with the usual crank arln lland handle l2 tor manually cperatineV it to start the engine. The frontend of the gear rase l is provided with a. removable cover 13 to whichia scoured a. sleeve lt in which the stai-tint;l ysha-tl l (i ismounted. For o l'urthcr deaeription ol this starting' shalt, referencemay be had to the above mentioned parent ayi plitratioi.

0u the end oill the orank shalt T is se cured a driving HV'oar .-l;which meshes with the Cain shaft fears 33. i whieh latter gears drivethe gre-.irs T. 5, on the pump and i'ne-.gneto sha'l'ts respoelircly.The mag-- neto Shaft. 3T is; inountcd in spaced boarings 3S in the crankrase arm and is oil xd by the spray ilroin the crank case rracliiin: itthrough the tfluinntl 2li.. (,)n the rear enil ol" the shaft 8T ismounted one ol' the incur bers 41A() ot' a universal ooupling by whiehil is conncrrted with thc armature :.hatt -lfl ol,E the magneto Thenieinbcr lll has an annular flange itil loriuod integral therewith andto this: llango is bolted the web ot' a pnlA ley Ail. which pulleyextends forwardly li'oin said Shaft. '.lhc pulley -l-l is' arraugfoi'lin a vertical plane with the pulley l5 which is secured to the hub olthe tau -lt ao that. the fan may be driven by a belt 'l-T passing overthese pulleys.

The fan and its pulley are mounted upon a bracket on the frontj sido ol"the `torward motor cylinder, and this bracket ifs' adjustably secured toa bracket carried by the cover o1"- the water jacket of the cylinder. Aswill be seen by reference to Fin: L), the hub (57 of the 'tau surroundsthc spindle 4S and is mounted on hall bearings thereon. projectsforwardly troia the bracket 49, being' rigid therewith and formed in anysuitable way. As shown, it is screwed into a suitable boss 4S on thebracket, The bracket 49 is formed of a central Vertical portion 50 whichcarries the spindle 48, au upwardly extending screwthreaded portion orarm 5l, and two downwardly extending Separated arms 52 lwhich arebifurcated at their lower ends forming slots parallel with the arin 5l.The arms .'32 are adjustably secured to the end wall of the cylinder bybolts 53 fastened in the bosses in the cylinder through the slots.

The arm 5l passes through an opening 54 110 T153,thus'permitting'tension adjustment of the belt 47.

The bracket 55 carried by the Water jacket cover 56 may be integral withthe cover or may be secured thereto in any suitable Way. This brackethas a suitably inclined ledge 5S upon Which is mounted a support tltension Wires of the motor, this for the high support being preferablycomposed of fiber block With suitable openings 60 therein for thepassage of the ignition wires 6l Which the upper are adapted to beconnected With the magneto. Thus it Will be seen that the Water jacketcover 56 has formed integral with it or rigidly secured thereto abracketfor holding thel supporting means for the ignition Wires and anextension -for supporting end of the fan bracket. Having thus describedmy inventio-n, what I claim is: f

1. A fan bracket comprising a central portion carrying a rigid shaft atright angles thereto constituting a fan bearing, an'

end portion in the form of a screw-thread ed rod, and an end portionopposite the screw-threaded portion made up of spaced arms, the ends ofwhich are bifurcated and parallel to the screw-threaded portion.

2. The combination with a casing, of a bracket fitting against saidcasing and hav-- ing an end in the form of a screw-threaded `rod, an armprojecting from said casing and provided With an opening through whichsaid screW-threadedportion extends, nuts on said screw-threaded portionon opposite sides of said arm, spaced arms on said bracket parallel With,the screw-threaded portion and having bifurcated ends, bolts on saidcasing engaging said bifurcated ends, and a fan carried by said bracket.

3,. ln a device of the'class described, the combination with ahydrocarbon motor, of a bracket supported on the casing of the motorcylinder, a support for high tension electric cables on said bracket, anarm on said bracket extending beyond the cylinder and a fan bracketadjustably connected to said arm'. I

4. In a device of the class described, the combination with ahydrocarbon motor, of

-rigid a bracket supported on the cover of the motor cylinder, a supportfor high tension electric cables mounted on said bracket, an arm on saidbracket extending. beyond the edge of the cylinder and provided with avert/ical hole, a fan bracket on the side of 'f said cylinder having anupper screw-threaded portion extending through said arm, and nuts onsaid screw-threaded portion on opposite sides of said arm.

5. in a. deviceof the class described, the combination With ahydrocarbon motor, of a bracket supported on the cover of the motorcylinder comprising an upright Web,j a transverse flange and an end armprojecting beyond the edge of the cylinder, a support for high tensionelectric cables secured on said transverse flange, and afan bracket atthe side of said cylinder having its upper end secured to said arm.

6. In a device of the class described, the combination With ahydrocarbon motor, of a crank shaft, operating mechanism includ- 1ng amagneto shaft connected by gearing to said crank shaft, a verticallymovable bracket having spaced arms making sliding engagement With thelcylinder of said motor, means on said cylinder for vertically adjustingsaid bracket, a rigid shaft carried by said bracket parallel `with themagneto shaft, a fan mounted on said rigid shaft and provided With apulley, and a pulley on said magneto shaft adapted to drive the fan bybelt connection.

7. In a device of the class described, the combination with ahydrocarbon motor, of

a crank shaft, operating mechanism including a magneto shaft connectedby gearingbtdsaid crank shaft, a vertically moya bracket one end ofwhich is screw-threaded and the other end of which is made up of spacedarms provided with vertical slots, bolts on the cylinder of said motorWorking in. said slots, an arm on said cylinder having a perforationthrough which the screwthreaded portion ofv the bracket extends, a shaftcarried by said bracket parallel with the magneto shaft, a fan mountedon said rigid shaft and provided With'a pulley,

and a pulley on said magneto shaft adapted A to drive the fan by beltconnection.
